Life is Sandy - Mui Ne

Welcome to walk with me with my trip to Mui Ne guys~!! Hope you like what you're reading!!

So we had a 5 days off from work and we decided to do double, well at least Sarah and I decided to..
The 1st 2 days we spent it at Mui Ne and the next 3 at Dalat.. We totally make full use of our holiday since it's hard to come by.. xD

So this is our room that we got in Mui Ne..
The 5 hours trip from Saigon to Mui Ne wasn't that bad cause w got the normal big bus. hehex
This hostel is called the Mui Ne Bagpackers.
It is absolutely awesome!!!!!!!!
Look at this room with only 5$ each for 2 nights.. we had 5 ppl in the room.. it's amazing!
There's a dorm for more than 10 ppl there but we wanted our privacy so the 5 of us got this room~ =)
We arrived in Mui Ne at 8.30pm~ joined the other bagpackers in a bar and then I was too tired to go to the next bars so I stayed in the room with take away~ xD

The next day I woke up early to go for breakfast by the beach~ since Safir and Laura was up as well so they tagged along =)

and Laura wanted to get tanned so I accompanied her to the beach .
This is Mui Ne beach! =)


and the main attraction there is kite surfing, but it's kinda expensive and to learn, you'd need at least a day and then you'll be able to do it by ur own~

The best part of Mui Ne~ The Sand Dunes~!!
So on the way to the sand dunes we dropped at the Fairy Springs.
We had to walk on this cool stream~~
and there're thumb guides there~ they're suppose to be free but they expect you to pay them after the tour coz they're kids.. you don't need guides for Fairy Springs, it's just a walk to and fro with fantastic views~












we were forced to pay this guide who just followed us when we didn't need her.. ==!!!!
so we just chipped in 10,000D but she asked for more.. @@!! never give them any!! schools are free in Vietnam!!

and we stopped at the fishing village on the way too~


the way to the sand dunes really do look like africa.. @@!! just lack of wild animals running around haha
this is the white sand dunes!!! pretty!!!!!!!
now when you're in the sand dunes, it's recommended to wear LONG PANTS and slippers.. you don't want sand to go into your shoes and you really don't want the sand to sting you when the wind is blowing STRONGLY...
trust me we were all in pain!!!

you can have a thumb guide for this because they'll catch everything that flies away for you~ hahhax..


advertisement.. ==!!
sand surfing in sand dunes were alright~ but Sarah was so scared because the hill was so steep.. yea I gotta admit that the hill was quite steep but the it's not speedy when we slide down because it's sand.. not water.. don't worry bout the height, worry bout the sand that's gonna get into your eyes, mouth and nose.. I ate some of them.. T_T
it's okie to let the guides push you down because it's hard to push yourself down.. @@


and then we moved on to the red sand dunes~ =)

yeah so the only interesting thing in mue ne is in the dunes~ but for those that loves the beach, you should get yourself here too.. =)

Signing of from Mue Ne~ Next stop, DALAT!!
